In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Mohandas Gandhi, the father of India.
As a young teenager in India, Gandhi led a rebellious life and went against his parents' values. But as a young man, he started to form beliefs of his own that harked back to the Hindu principles of his childhood. Gandhi began to dream of unity for all peoples and religions. Inspired by this idea, he led peaceful protests to free India from British rule and unite the country—ending violence and unfair treatment. His bravery and free-thinking made him one of the most iconic people of peace in the world, known as Mahatma, meaning "great soul." This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the activist's life.
Little People, BIG DREAMS is a best-selling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.
This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardcover and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets.

      Grades K-3 Young readers will find inspiring stories of individuality and courage in the latest installments of the Little People, Big Dreams series (4 new titles). As always, these child-friendly biographies utilize brief, approachable text and inviting artwork to tell of the childhoods and accomplishments of admirable figures in history or living today. Mahatma Gandhi provides a charming window into the life of this pioneer of peaceful protest, tracing upbringing and quest for justice and equality in South Africa and India. At times, the books make superlative statements that would be challenging to prove?Bowie was the most unique star that ever fell to earth.; Parton is the most respected country performer of all time. ?though the sentiments ring true. All volumes end with a two-page spread featuring a photo-illustrated time line and more detailed information on the featured individual. A light, endearing series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
